Seasonal Aquatics Worker - Lieber SRA

About Lieber State Recreation Area

In the 1800s, Lieber State Recreation Area was inhabited by the Miami, Shawnee, and Potawatomi. In 1809, the great Miami Indian Confederacy sold the southern one-third of the area to the U.S. government. In 1952, Cagle’s Mill Lake was built as Indiana’s first flood control reservoir, protecting the Eel and White River watersheds. Mill Creek feeds the 1,400-acre lake and is home to beautiful Cataract Falls. These falls resulted from two pre-glacial bedrock ridges buried beneath ancient lake sediments of the Illinoisan glacial period.
